The History of the English Language
6.1.4.1 New words
Ancient inhabitants - people who lived in Great Britain long ago the Celts кельты the Saxons саксы Germanic tribes германские племена the Angles англы to settle поселяться
The ancient inhabitants of Great Britain were the Celts. The language then was not like the English of today. Only a few of their words remained in the language now, spoken by the English people. Great Britain was occupied by the Romans. The Roman period of British history lasted 465 years. Then the Saxons came and settled down in the land. These Germans were the founders of the English nation. By and by came other Germanic tribes who settled on different parts of the coast. Among those tribes were people called the Angles. When the Angles and Saxons grew into one, they were called Anglo-Saxons or Angles English. The name they gave to the country was England.
6.1.4.2 New words
the Normans норманны William the Conqueror Вильгельм Завоеватель at the head of во главе master повелитель to differ отличаться order приказ pronunciation произношение
The Normans came to Great Britain in 1065 and the great battle between the English and Normans began. The battle in which the Normans won was near the town Hastings. William who was at the head of the Normans was called the Conqueror after this battle and became the King of England. Though the Normans became the master of England the Saxons didn't want to speak their language and the Normans had to learn English to make the English people understand their orders. In this way Anglo-Saxon, changed a little by the Normans became the real English language of the future, and that's why the pronunciation of the English words differs so much from their spelling.
